How do I join the Amazon Lightning Deal Wait List

If you are on the product page, look for the yellow “Join deal waitlist” button.

If you are on a LIGHTNING DEAL page, click the yellow Join Waitlist button.

Amazon will notify you via email if and when you get of the waitlist. You will then have 15 minutes to complete your checkout.

As far as I know, the wait list function does not work from Amazon app / mobile site unfortunately. You can try scrolling to the bottom of the app and clicking “View the Full Amazon Site”. The font will be teeny tiny, but you should see it properly that way.

Do lightning deals automatically come with free shipping? My father-in-law has Amazon Prime, and we usually just use his account. For the wait list, however, the e-mail would just go to him, which doesn’t really work. However, I do like the free shipping, and if I’m signed in to my account I wouldn’t get it.

Also, once everything is really sold out (including the wait list) Amazon will change it to SOLD OUT. I’ve gotten several things off the wait list when they tell me my chance is “poor”. So as Mara said, don’t get discouraged, you still might get the item you were looking for!
